If in any circumstances that you hear two young people say that they are going to "Netflix and Chill", it is perfectly normal to be alarmed. Nowadays, there have been a lot of terms and phrases coined by our youngsters that are really quite mind-boggling. They may be used to disguise a dangerous agenda or it could be just the kids being kids. Aside from "Netflix and Chill" which is used as an invitation for an intercourse for those who 'get it' instead of it being just a normal marathon and relaxing session, here are 5 other millennial terms and phrases that you have probably heard of but can't actually put a finger on:
1. "Turn up!" Usually associated with drugs and alcohol to most people's dismay, this phrase can also be a translation to getting a party started.
Example: "Are we turning up on Friday night?"
2. "Rachet." Although Dictionary.com defines this word as a steady progression, it is currently used to describe something or someone messy.
Example: "Don't buy that dress. You don't want to look rachet for your date tonight."
3. "Catfish." Based off the 2010 MTV show, Catfish means meeting someone online, and getting disappointed upon meeting them in person, for they might not be how you expected them to be. In some situations, catfish could also mean that someone is using another person's identity on their social media platform to hit on other people.
Example: "What if he's a fake and only catfish-ing you?"
4. "On fleek!" Just like "Netflix and Chill", this phrase also started getting popularized around the web. Before, it was used to be an alternative way to say "nice", but right now, it has become a description for cool and awesome things. It is also another way to say "on point".
Example: "Your eyebrows are so on fleek right now!"
5. "Bae." A lot of people are obviously getting annoyed of this term that is used to refer to a partner or any significant other. Just like babe and baby, "bae" is now oftentimes used as an endearment as well.
Example: "I can't wait for bae to come home so we could order pizza!"
